From earlier this week: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a neurodegenerative disease driven by polyglutamine expansion in ataxin-1. doi.org/10.1172/JCI195723 Here, Changwoo (Chris) Lee @chchrislee, Janghoo Lim @Janghoolim @LimLabYale & team provide strong evidence on the role of oligodendrocyte-specific expression of pathogenic ATXN1 in neuronal malfunction and systemic dysfunction in mouse models of this incurable disease. The image: Purkinje cell torpedoes and myelin debris in the granular layer are increased in OL-SCA1-934 cKI mice. @LeonTejwani #SCA1 #Ataxin1
